Notice the q's above the bollinger band usually where I start scalping (usually an easy scalp), however not this time. Tomorrow is opex for one thing the other is we have a Pres. who follows the market and takes credit for it. Did ya notice how 2 Fridays ago we go that bullish news about China, although it was just the same news over again, happened when the market was at critical resistance (just lower than now), they were trying to break it out. We are breaking out now, some China news or something similar would give the market some juice maybe a blowoff top in 1840's SPX. (JMHO)
ST UP, IT DOWN, grinding higher, OPEX games continue

Yep, got to have TIGHT STOPS if scalping
or IT/LT shorts or longs
So I daytrade NQ and IT trades with QQQ stops
This has been an impressive 4-day rally so far. But looks very suspect to me.

Maybe a whipsaw on this system. I do like his system!

Waiting to see how we close.... I remain on a buy for VST, ST, and now my daily signal too....
I'm still going to hold my VXXB, because that too is on a buy signal.... We shall see how it plays out. I take the signals - no guessing involved! That's what stops are for..... when you are wrong..... I know some so called Guru's that are paper trading so the correct call is very important to them cause they need those new subs. That aren't very good traders in my opinion....
Good Trading!
The closing price will be the most important to me.... Waiting to buy VXF!

Added 4 more QQQ JUN puts
BA is still not a BUY but it is a darn resilient stock!
It went up 50% from the Dec 24 low to 440; it has now gone down to "only" 374.
If it goes down to 325 and lower I will consider buying; if not.... just don't bother
SPX close today will be very important in determining the IT direction, and a possible new SPX high.

Holding short actually, looks more like a set up for a gap down. (long qid 35.46) JMHO

Nice NQ short to end the day.
This market reminds me of January 2018
Could be because at that time I was also loaded with QQQ puts (54), was down almost 34% on that holding, and the markets were moving up up up ....until it did not! That was one of my best trades for the past 7 years!
